In remembrance of a man that gave power to the powerless and a voice to the voiceless, a man who nullified fear while taking on full responsibility of a people; fighting for our right to freedom.
This day we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the man, the leader, the hero, who in a 1954 sermon proclaimed that, “The real problem is that through our scientific genius we’ve made of the world a neighborhood, but through our moral and spiritual genius we’ve failed to make of it a brotherhood.”
And today, as we press on to continue the dream of this legendary and admirable figure, we must keep in mind that although things don't always come easy -- taking a stand for justice has always been the ladder of continued progress towards realizing a more peaceful world.
Dr. King, thank you good sir, for everything you've done to enrich the lives of millions, and thank you Congressman Lewis for co-authoring the federal legislation that made today a national holiday in which to honor our extraordinary leader.
Happy Birthday, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
2014 LA
